General Commentsinead o'connor is irish (i think, I may be wrong) and if the lyrics are correct, it'd be something along the lines of her talking as an irish woman to an englishman, two peoples who have always fought, even though the two in the song have shared something. again, I may be wrong

General CommentFirst of all, i thought this was a great song, and then i read everyone's comments and realized its actual referent, and now i think it's even greater! one thing though--don't you think it's "let glorious work be done" and not "love"? It's an allusion to something...
